Earlier today there was a short power surge at my house due to a storm. My pc shut off as has happened once or twice before during storms but this time it didn't turn on. I went to Best Buy to purchase a new power supply and after replacing that , still nothing. When I press the power button there are no fans, nothing.

What am I looking at here? Is this most likely a dead motherboard?
 
Solution
Yes, it's mostly likely your motherboard IF the outlet you are using has power. Plug in a lamp or soemthing to confirm it has power.

On your next trip to Best Buy get a UPS or at least a surge suppressor.
